Hatch Green Chile Meatloaf

Hatch Green Chile Meatloaf

Author note: Growing up I never ate meatloaf. My mother didn’t make it because it was one dish that my dad did not enjoy. The first time I ever made meatloaf at home was a few years back and I used Food52’s Oliver Clark’s Meatloaf and it was life changing. The crème fraiche, parmesan and mayonnaise found in this recipe is inspired by my first encounter with homemade meatloaf.

Hi Michelle! The vegetable mixture (of the onions, carrots, garlic and green chiles) stick to the pan while cooking. The pan is “deglazed” with beer, meaning when the beer is poured into the pan with the vegetable mixture, it will pick up and clean off any bits stuck to the pan. This beer reduces and leaves the vegetable mixture with a delicious flavor. This vegetable mixture is added to the ground pork and other ingredients. There is a green chile jam which is used to top the meatloaf. I hope this answers your question! Let me know if you need more clarification. Thanks for the message.
